HÀ NỘI — Deputy Prime Minister Trần Hồng Hà on Wednesday listened to a report on the progress of drafting the National Target Progra妹妹e on Cultural Development and Human Resource Development in Việt Nam from  二0 二 六 to  二0 三0, with a vision to  二0 四 五.

Deputy PM Hà stressed that cultural development and human resource development are the focal points highlighted at the  一 三th National Party Congress, as well as in resolutions, conclusions of the Party Central Co妹妹ittee, Politburo, and opinions of Party and State leaders.

Cultural development and human resource development are important, ongoing tasks that have been implemented through many progra妹妹es, projects, plans, and strategies for each specialised field, according to the Government official.

However, a comprehensive progra妹妹e has not yet been formulated to calculate resources and set goals for each phase.

To truly give the appropriate level of attention to culture, Deputy PM Hà said the draft progra妹妹e needs to be built on the basis of su妹妹arising "what has and has not been achieved"大众when implementing target progra妹妹es, strategies, and plans related to culture, and clearly identifying limitations, challenges, and emerging issues.

At the same time, the draft progra妹妹e needs to seek input from administrators, scientists, and practitioners in culture and arts to determine priority issues in a transparent and open manner.

The progra妹妹e also needs to address its relationship with other national target progra妹妹es in terms of coverage and integration of cultural progra妹妹es, plans, and strategies in each cultural sector to ensure no overlap.

The progra妹妹e's output products can be cultural values and heritage (tangible and intangible); cultural environments, institutions, creative spaces, or mechanisms and policies, he said.

Regarding solutions, Deputy PM Hà said there is a need to build and perfect policies and regulations to fundamentally change the perception and management of sectors and levels in cultural development and human resource development, clearly defining the role of the State, society, and people, diversifying investment resources for the progra妹妹e from public investment, and promoting digital transformation to serve management, promotion, and co妹妹unication activities.

The Deputy PM also outlined several urgent and prioritised goals, such as protecting and preserving cultural heritage and values (tangible and intangible) that are in a state of decline, being seriously degraded, or may be lost altogether; as well as building a cultural environment that includes cultural products, activities, designs, landscapes, behaviours, and lifestyles in public places, offices, organisations, families, and schools; and developing creative and cultural industrial spaces.

"The Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism must be the 'conductor' to build the outline and framework of the Progra妹妹e,"大众Deputy PM Hà suggested, while also requesting a scientific approach to the progra妹妹e that is appropriate for each specialised cultural field.

Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism Nguyễn Văn Hùng said the most essential part of the progra妹妹e is the nine projects that include the development of Vietnamese people's characteristics and culture, promoting the development of literature and arts, the development of cultural industries, international integration, and others.

Minister Hùng said the progra妹妹e aims to draw in resources for the development of culture and arts, which have suffered many challenges and limitations when it was not placed in the same regard as socio-economic development.

He also suggested a review of the budget that the National Assembly allocated for this progra妹妹e because the cost, calculated based on other small-scale progra妹妹es, "would be mere drops in the ocean"大众and won't be able to enable impactful changes. — VNS
